General Comments:

The first Grand Voyager we bought, was brought in for repair of the same 'clunking' sound three times, and was eventually replaced under the WA state lemon law. The second one fared much better.

The ride was extremely comfortable, and you could sit in those seats all day. Power more than adequate, even when loaded with kids. Great for long trips, and for hauling cargo and people.

It survived being used to teach 2 teenagers to drive, functioned as a grocery-getter, soccer-mom-mobile, daily driver and cargo truck.

The transmission failure came on slowly, at first it would slam into gear, then eventually would only allow first and reverse. We decided it wasn't worth fixing or selling due to the years of dents, dings and abuse it had suffered at our hands.

Faults:

Water leak on Passengers side floor & Check engine light.

General Comments:

I some what reluctantly purchased the van. My wife liked it. The overall condition looked fairly well taken care of and the engine seemed solid. The brakes and shocks seemed worn, but for the mileage and year, it seemed reasonable. The price was just about right.

I took if for two fairly long test rides and another 30 miles home without a problem (in the rain). The next morning the check engine light is on and water is visibly seeping on the passenger side floor.

The van was just meant as a grocery getter and short mileage hops for my wife. We are not off to a good start. We live on the outskirts of town and confidence is a must.

I'll change the shocks, but if it hasn't grown on me by the time the registration arrives, it's gone. I'll be happy if we break even.

Air Conditioning that never worked properly. Although repaired multiple times at a cost of roughly $3000, never became fully functional or reliable.

Did I mention, brakes, brakes and more brakes.

Makes more noises, from day one, than any car (regardless of age and wear) I ever ridden in.

The sliding rear doors and gas door have also been a constant problem (functioning) and have required multiple repairs.

To top all this off, Chrysler Corporation treated me poorly and didn't back their inferior product. Interestingly enough, as more problems mounted and it became a National distraction for Chrysler, they began offering the new drive train 10 year warranty. Of course they just wrote off those already suffering.

I will never purchase another Chrysler product. The product is inferior and more importantly, the Corporation is worse.
